A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1193

They dared not stop Kingsley. Kingsley hastily rushed into the woods, in spite of the fire, the heavy smoke, and the pungent smell of burning.

Lee and the other subordinates followed Kingsley into the woods. Lee almost tripped and crawled on the ground by the stretched branches several times. But Kingsley strode forward, his face grim, his brows furrowed, and kept calling Sherman's name.

Kingsley's trench coat was cut by the branched and his handsome face was covered with ashes. He looked as if he had crawled out of a pile of ashes.

Several times on their way, charred trunks came crashing down, and once a trunk smashed on Mr. Wright's shoulder. After that, his arm drooped at his side and did not move for hours.

That strike must have hurt him badly.

Not only Lee but all the other subordinates were worried about Kingsley. Lee asked, "M r. Wright, should you go out first and let the doctor check you out? We will continue to search for Ms. Holmes.”

"I'm alright! Here I make it clear once and for all! If you waste my time in saving Sherman, you will all hold accountable! Don't try to stop me! I'm not going out there! You're pissing me off!” Kingsley yelled, his eyes malevolent. These were the only words he had spoken since he had entered the woods.

A tense, suffocating, oppressive atmosphere enveloped the woods. And there was a roaring fire. It was horrifying.

The used-to-be mild Mr. Wright became mad in an instant. Everyone was frightened. No one dared to speak a word.

This frightening tension lasted until they found Sherman in the cave. At the moment Sherman was brought out of the cave, the others were a little farther away, so they did not see the look in Kingsley's eyes, but Lee saw that clearly.

At that moment, Mr. Wright seemed to be drained of all of his strength. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned on the trunk behind him. His chest was heaving violently. His right hand rubbed his brow, where there was soreness from too much tension.

But Kingsley did not show any of his emotions on his face. He just leaned on the trunk and let the men bring Sherman to him.

Only Lee knew it was not that Mr. Wright did not want to step forward, but he could not move from the sudden relaxation after the extreme tension.

In the car, Lee talked about how they found the woods. The young nurses start chatting about it. They admired Kingsley so much! And they envied Sherman so much!
